Plug-In Hybrid Paddle Switches / Paddle Shifters Video
QR CODE
Each of the different Drive Modes allows the regenerative braking level to be set at the driver ’s preference
QUICK TIP
Regenerative Braking with Paddle Switches*
The regenerative braking system charges the battery when coasting or when you use the brakes to stop the vehicle When the Drive Mode is in ECO mode, use the paddle switches to adjust the regenerative braking level from 1 to 3, MA X and AUTO The level will be displayed on the instrument cluster A
•Pull the left paddle switch B to increase regenerative braking and deceleration Pull and hold to reach the MA X level
•Pull the right paddle switch C to decrease regenerative braking and deceleration Pull and hold to reach Smart Regeneration System (AUTO)
The paddle shifters do not operate when:
•Both paddle switches are pulled at the same time
•The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal
•Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is active
•When the SOC gauge shows a high level
•If there is a restriction by the vehicle system
•When the drive mode is switched from sport to ECO
Smart Regeneration System*
Smart Regeneration automatically adjusts the regenerative braking level based on a vehicle being detected in front, and road conditions
To activate Smart Regeneration, pull and hold the right paddle switch or go to Vehicle Settings* on the Infotainment System Press the SETUP button or SETUP on the screen, VEHICLE and ECO VEHICLE Then SMART REGENER ATION
AUTO D will be displayed on the instrument cluster above the Regenerative Braking indicator

The Warning Volume can be adjusted in the User Set tings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Set tings* on the infotainment system Go to Driver Assistance, Warning Method, then Warning Volume
QUICK TIP
EMERGENCY BRAKING
COLLISION WARNINGFCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent and, if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking Initially, FCA provides Collision Warning when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster
If FCA detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision
With the turn signal on, if it detects a potential collision, Junction Tu r n i n g A may help to avoid the collision with an oncoming vehicle in an adjacent lane when turning left by applying emergency braking
FCA Settings:
•FCA is on by default in most Kia models FCA can be turned on/off by going to the User Settings* in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the Infotainment System
•Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and the ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the on position
•To access User settings* in the Instrument Cluster - Press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel to toggle to User Settings Press the OK button C up/down to toggle to Driver Assistance and Forward Safety
•To access Vehicle settings* in the Infotainment System – Press the SETUP key or the onscreen SETUP button Press VEHICLE to enter Vehicle Settings Select Driver Assistance, Driving Safety and Forward Safety
•To adjust the FCA initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , Driver Assistance, Warning Timing, then select Standard or Late, depending on your Kia model:
–
Standard: This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Late: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
FCA/FCW will become active when the:
•Ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button* is ON
•Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†3
For ward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is not a substitute for safe driving and may not detect all objects in front of the vehicle Always drive safely and use caution
Actual User Set tings steps may var y by model Refer to section 6 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information
REMINDERS:
•
FCA will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when previous set ting was OFF
•
If FCA is operating and ESC (Electronic Stabilit y Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
•
When FCA is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
